See below to see why I characterize our legal system as insane. Do not cooperate or interact with the police unless forced. And if forced don't say anything to them whatsoever without your lawyer present. Since essentially everything is against the law and prosecutors are so abusive of their discretion the most reasonable position is to politely treat the police as your adversary. They are not on your side. They are on they're side.
Ashe Schow: Why Doesn’t The Left Care About Shaneen Allen?
Allen had been robbed twice in 2013, so she bought a handgun legally in Pennsylvania and obtained a concealed-carry permit. She didn’t realize the permit wasn’t valid in every state and was driving in New Jersey when she was pulled over for a minor traffic offense. She informed the officer she had a weapon and provided her permit, thinking she was within the law.
But she wasn’t. New Jersey’s stringent gun laws don’t recognize Pennsylvania’s concealed-carry permits.
National Review Online noted last week that the prosecutor in Allen’s case, Jim McClain, could have been lenient on Allen. . . . But McClain didn’t. He sought maximum punishment for Allen — three years for firearm possession and an additional year for the ammunition

Prosecutors have far to much power and discretion.
